Beef prices going up????

[NDbowman]

Too many variables to know who bought them, why, and their end purpose. I just know he sold them for that price.

I'm skeptical that he got that price for an 1100lb holstein cross. He did sell at the high point of the market but even still I don't believe it. Right now a finished steer sold to a packer would bring $2.30 per lb. I don't remember exactly what the high was about 2 months ago, maybe $2.50 or $2.60. so say a finished steer weighs 1300lbs at $2.50. that is $3250.

Well I guess I could be wrong. After I posted this I looked at archived sale reports from Napoleon livestock. back in Oct 1000+ lb steers brought good money.

Yeah, I know what you mean NDbowman and I don't blame you for throwing the BS flag. When he told me what he got for them, I was shocked. It's part of why I started this thread. Figured folks might want to know what might be coming on the horizon.
